How The Drake Group Works

The Drake Group is able to quickly respond to current events because of the way it is structured and operates. The membership nominates and elects the Officers and the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee (a subset of the Board of Directors) meets on a quarterly or as needed basis while the Board of Directors meets quarterly. These governance units use “expert” members who serve on standing and ad hoc committees and an Advisory Council to produce position papers and press releases as well as editorial and opinion pieces. The Executive Commiittee and Board approve these documents by majority vote. This operating system enable The Drake Group to respond to developing issues in a timely manner.
